LOUD HOUND is singer- songwriter / producer Tommy Florio. Tommy was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He and his family moved around quite a bit during his childhood from Pennsylvania, New Jersey to Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario, Nevada, and even New York City. Music was never his primary focus in life. He was always into art whether it was drawing, making home movies or playing the drums. During his teenager years he was extremely driven to become a professional skateboarder. He did experience a moderate level of success by winning several skateboarding competitions and small sponsorships from local skate shops down the shore in New Jersey. After one too many broken bones and several dozen staples in his head he shifted his focus from pushing wood to focusing on filmmaking and music. Read more on Last.fm.
